Saffron, also known as red gold, comes from the delicate flowers of Crocus sativus, a plant as beautiful as it is generous.

💡 Why grow saffron?

• 🌱 Easy to grow: all it needs is well-drained soil and a little patience in the fall.

• Spectacular flowering: in addition to being useful, they beautify the garden.

• In cooking: risotto, paella, desserts... a few stigmas are enough to transform a dish.
